This was not a pleasant experience. My initial arrival date had to be changed due to a missed flight, and the host seemed understanding and offered to change the check out date to so I wouldn’t be over charged. My next flight was the next day and due to an airport issue I couldn’t travel again, and was told that travel to Thailand wouldn’t be possible and to resolve the issue would take over a month. I contacted the host immediately, knowing that this is a big inconvenience, i offered her to take half of the fees and refund the rest since I had booked 8 days, wasted 2 from her calendar and didn’t spend a single night there. I had a ticket from cairo to Bangkok to Chiang mai and back to Bangkok again which was expensive and I lost the full amount on that ticket and that’s why i asked the host to be reasonable. I believed 4 nights fees would have been a fair compromise, but the host disagreed and took the full cost of the 8 days. I don’t believe this to be fair in anyway, even with a no refund policy because this was an unforeseen circumstance that I couldn’t control. This was an unfair and very unpleasant experience. I wouldn’t consider ever booking there again. Especially since the hosts special instructions seemed to indicate that she is renting the apt with out any permission from the apt. complex.
